The Starlight Green Egger is very similar to the Prairie Bluebell Egger. This breed was created by crossing the Prairie Bluebell Egger with a brown egg layer, the result is a chicken breed that lays high quantities of only green eggs. As with the Prairie Bluebell Egger, the Starlight Green Egger is a lightweight and very active breed that is an excellent forager in free-range situations. The plumage color is also highly variable and comes in many beautiful color patterns not typically seen. If you are looking for a bird that consistently lays a green egg and will lay a lot of them, all while having a beautiful color pattern, then the Starlight Green Egger will be a great addition to your flock! There may be a 5% chance of laying brown eggs with this hybrid.
